Ruby Rose, Winning Streak
Chapter 1: Ruby vs Nora
"Ruby Rose vs Nora Valkyrie. Begin!"
Keeping her distance, Ruby fired with her weapon on its rifle mode. Nora countered with the firing of her grenades toward Ruby's position as she charged to close the distance, however, her disadvantage became apparent when Ruby used her superior speed and range to kite her around the arena, taking out large chunks of aura thanks to her beloved high-caliber sniper.
Quickly realizing she was running in circles trying to close the gap between the speedster and herself, Nora changed tactics, dropping into a squat, she then jumped high into the air, almost reaching the ceiling and shot her barrage of grenades across the entire arena.
Of course, not literally the entire stage, she didn't have that kind of fire power….Yet.
In any case, the prodigy simply responded by pressing the brakes, staying at one position and quickly shooting the grenades raining down on her out of the air.
The attack served its purpose though, with the pink smoke blocking her vision, Nora quickly dived towards her, bursting from the cloud, electricity running through her body, she swung her hammer in a horizontal arc, aiming for Ruby's side. Still having her rifle aimed towards its previous shot, Ruby pulled the trigger, blasting Nora point-blank on the chest, though only killing a fraction of her current momentum, the warrior charged on.
The recoil of the shot got Ruby out of the attack's range as she sailed through the air, aided by force of Nora's strike, she landed softly near the edge of the ring, boots skidding across the dirt as she came to a stop.
Finally unfurling her scythe, Ruby's eyes shone with quiet determination, her lips curving up into a small smile.
And then, she was off like a bullet.
Using her semblance, she closed the gap between her and Nora in less than a second, flying past her, with her scythe's blunt end stroke Nora's torso, shattering her aura, and sending her towards the edge of the ring. Digging her scythe into the ground, Ruby killed the rest of her momentum flipping onto Crescent Rose's shaft, cape billowing behind her, standing victorious, the audience clapping and cheering. Glynda called the match, signifying the beginning of her winning streak here at Beacon.
